Transmitted by mosquitos and intercourse! That is a powerful combination. I can't even imagine the multiple impacts of the birth defects. This crap is scary. I am with K...no way I would have kids with this around.

People flipped out about Ebola...and you could kind of tell when 'that patient' was coming if you had an idea where they had traveled to...but how the hell do you figure out where a mosquito got blown in from...and there has to be billions of them.

...Can't hurt to put up a few bat houses for mosquito control.

CDC’s advice on Zika: You may need to consider avoiding sex

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued detailed recommendations Friday for preventing the sexual transmission of the mosquito-borne Zika virus, including the suggestion that men who have traveled to Zika-affected areas consider abstaining from sex with their pregnant partner for the duration of the pregnancy.

The guidelines were in response to the report Tuesday by Dallas health officials that a local resident was infected with Zika by having sex with someone who'd contracted the disease while traveling in Venezuela -- one of the many countries in South America, Central America and the Caribbean where the virus is spreading explosively.
